Trang 2Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents
- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician
Question 16: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other people B other scientists
C other children D other geniuses
Question 17: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that _
A ability depends both on intelligence and on environment
B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
D different twins generally have different levels of ability
Question 18: Scientists chose twins for their study because
A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
Question 19: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nutured
B They practised playing their instruments for many years
C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
Question 20: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow _
A their parent’s interests B their own interests
C only their interests in musical instruments D only their interests in computer games
Question 21: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid _
A pushing their children too hard B letting them play their own way
C permitting them to follow their own interests D starting their education at an early age
Question 22: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the
passage means that in order to become a genius
Trang 3A you need to have good health and good nourishment
B you need intelligence and you need to develop it
C you should try to move quickly and efficiently
D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard
Question 23: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means
A “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people”
B “of high quality or an acceptable standard”
C “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”
D “under the control or in the power of somebody else”
Question 24: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _
A studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure
B a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents
C to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development
D educational development depends completely on economic well-being
Question 25: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _
A an expensive education B good musical instruments
C parental support and encouragement D wealthy and loving parents

Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can be mated with human cells
to combat disease The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a strand of hair, combines a healthy
human cell with an electronic circuitry chip Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer
It has long been established that cell members become permeable when exposed to electrical impulses Researchers have conducted genetic research for years with a trial-and-error
process of bombarding cells with electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign substances such as
new drug treatments or genetic material They were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for
a particular purpose With the new invention, the computer sends electrical impulses to the chip, which triggers the physicians to open a cell’s pores with control
Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more advanced chips whereby they can choose a particular voltage to activate particular tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others They believe that they will be able to implant multiple chips into a person to deal with one problem or more than one problem
